I know that this is a fairly common question, but I haven't been able to find an answer yet (or at least implement what I've seen discussed). I have the NI 9870 module, a cRIO 9074, and am using LabView 8.6. I'm working on a prototype right now, so what I'm not worried about having the most robust VI, just one that gets the job done. I need to be able to send a data string out, and if possible read the returned data back in.
I'll eventually have several serial devices hooked up, so using the onboard serial port with VISA is out of the question. I found the serial loopback example, but after playing it, I haven't had too much luck making it work for me. Has anybody gotten anywhere with this? I've seen a lot of people who ended up switching to the onboard port or finding a driver for their device, but unfortunately these won't work for me.
I've scoured the forums and the website for a good guide on how to get this module working through the fpga, but am not having much luck. If there is a good reference, does anybody have a link to it? If not, anybody care to share a few steps to get started?
Thanks a lot for any help or insight that you can provide. If I've left out any crucial information, just let me know.
